Tokyo, Beaverton -- January 5, 2005- NexantiS Corporation ("Nexantis") an international editor of strategic-security solutions headquartered in Japan and netVigilance Inc. an authorized distributor of SecureScout™ announced that the SecureScout™ vulnerability assessment scanner has been accepted by the SANS institute for detection of SANS Top 20 vulnerabilites.

Jesper Jurcenoks; VP Sales at netVigilance was quoted as saying "It is important to get this mention on the SANS website. The network security community is expecting greater efficiencies from VA tools. The frequency and severity of today s cyber attacks demand that VA tools deliver high performance, fewer false-positives and the broadest test case coverage."

SecureScout™, with it s unique distributed architecture greatly increases scanning performance while at the same time simplifies management.

Cox went on to say; "Vulnerability assessment is an extremely important component of corporate information security. The amount of exposure as well as remediation work is greatly reduced by VA, leaving security professionals to focus on management and planning functions."
